That makes complete sense. I have always thought Beckett graders were tougher. As a teacher, I completely appreciate that. I would rather give a student a "B" because she earned it than an "A" for her self-esteem. If people know a teacher/card grader is more accurate and less forgiving, it makes that grade all the more meaningful. If it is all I can find for a specific card, I will buy the PSA. However, if a Beckett version is within 0.5-1.0, and it is lower, I will go for the Beckett every time. I am not at all trying to sound like a commercial because of whose board this is. This is my honest opinion.

I collect Chicago athletes in their respective Halls of Fame, in addition to several authors, track athletes, and personal favorites from past and present Chicago rosters. The other 36,000 cards in my collection are for you.

It's actually basically the same, which is what I would expect for the most part from PSA to BGS or vice versa. (Keep in mind a PSA 10 and a BGS 9.5 are the same thing.)

So you have one that gained a half point, 2 that were reduced a half point, and the BGS 9.5 which stayed the same.

I would love to see this done with GAI or GMA or one of those, hahahaha This is why I stick to PSA, BGS, or SGC graded cards if I buy a graded card, although I prefer not to. If it is graded by anyone other than those 3, I will just keep looking for a raw version.
